About Us

For Rest & Love

In a world filled with mass flow production and hyper-consumerism, handcrafted artisan stories keep us together. Our products are made from nature. We work with resources that are recyclable and sustainable. Each Forrest & Love piece is handcrafted using traditional techniques, wrapped in very minimalistic packaging and offers Ayurveda and vitality benefits.

With Forrest & Love, you choose handicrafts over mass flow production, tradition over trend and sustainability over fast fashion.

Our Story

It all started with a gift.

Shamika’s mother gifted her a handmade copper jug during her trip to India. Back in Germany, she proudly shared it with friends, colleagues, and her close friend Rohit — who instantly recognized its business potential. Both had grown up drinking copper water and deeply understood its benefits.

Inspired, they quickly developed prototypes and debuted their first designs at a lifestyle fair in Munich. The overwhelming interest took them by surprise, and from that moment, there was no turning back.

As the business grew, they partnered with a family-run copper manufacturer in India to oversee production firsthand, ensuring top quality and fair working conditions. The skilled artisans became trusted partners — truly part of the Forrest & Love family — helping the brand expand steadily.

Having weathered the challenges of the pandemic, Forrest & Love has since scaled successfully and is now a leading lifestyle brand in over 14 countries worldwide.

Our Mission

To bring a change

With our brand we aim to ignite a change in lifestyle and conscious consumerism. We champion handcrafted products over mass production, timeless tradition over fleeting trends, and sustainability over fast fashion. Our creations are made to be chosen, cherished, and reused - encouraging mindful, conscious living. We believe that getting lost in the details is where true beauty is found, and that beautiful pieces are meant to be passed down for generations.

To be conscious

We believe that what you pay attention to grows, which is why we focus on resource-saving, sustainable, and ethically fair manufacturing processes. We emphasize minimal packaging, zero waste production, and avoiding plastic wherever possible - in both our office routines and production sites. Driven by love for craftsmanship, we create everyday products that are functional yet special, blending traditional values with natural materials to design items that truly stand out.

To do all things we love

Guided by craftsmanship, traditional values, and natural materials, our ethos is to make things that stand out and turn heads. At the same time, we are committed to protecting our start-up mentality. Since founding Forrest & Love, we aim to work smart, not hard - avoiding long meetings and stressful environments—so our minds remain free for fresh ideas and innovations. Above all, we strive to remain a fun-filled company, fueled by passion & creativity in everything we do.
